Thanks to the near-annual frequency of the series\u2019 launches, it\u2019s hard to remember that Assassin\u2019s Creed as a franchise<\/a> is now old enough to buy its M-rated, 17-and-older self.<\/p>\n Because the campaign-based story shifts locations and main characters, each release, like last year\u2019s Mirage, or this coming November\u2019s Shadows<\/a>, seems to reset the franchise as a new idea despite the fact it all pivots on the same sci-fi, time-traveling\/memory-hunting concept established by Patrice D\u00e9silets in 2007.<\/p>\n If remarks from Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot are any guide<\/a>, though, fans might start thinking of Assassin\u2019s Creed\u2019s own history in a more relevant way. That\u2019s because the French publisher is pursuing remakes of some of the game\u2019s foundational hits, stopping just short of confirming a report last year<\/a> that an updated Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag (2013) was on deck.<\/p>\n \u201cPlayers can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we\u2019ve created in the past and modernize them,\u201d Guillemot said in an interview posted to Ubisoft\u2019s official website. \u201cThere are worlds in some of our older Assassin\u2019s Creed games that are still extremely rich.\u201d<\/p>\n Guillemot has the right instinct that Assassin\u2019s Creed comprises distinct worlds and eras fans would love to dive back into. You saw some of that in last year\u2019s launch of Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, which took the series back to its origins as an adventure set in the Persia during the Islamic Golden Age, like the original game. Subsequent entries embraced the Italian Renaissance, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, Victorian England, and then ancient Egypt, Greece, and the Vikings\u2019 height of power in Northern Europe.<\/p>\n The series has seen collected re-releases before, but these were anthologies of existing games rather than remasters or remakes. The most recent was Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag plus its companion, Assassin\u2019s Creed Rogue, for Nintendo Switch in 2019. Before that was Assassin\u2019s Creed: The Ezio Collection, spanning the three Renaissance-era games from 2009 to 2011.<\/p>\n Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag was a launch title for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Along with Assassin\u2019s Creed: Rogue (originally launched for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3) it was a fork off the American Revolution chapter introduced the year before, and took advantage of an historical New World timeframe to give players a full-blown, open world pirate fantasy in the Caribbean Sea. Black Flag\u2019s naval combat systems later became the basis for Skull and Bones, which launched in February after repeated delays.<\/p>\n In addition to Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows, set in Japan\u2019s feudal era (specifically the 16th century), Ubisoft is developing a new chapter currently codenamed Assassin\u2019s Creed Hexe, whose story will coincide with the witchcraft trials and persecutions of the Holy Roman Empire in the late 1500s. Hexe \u201cis going to be a very different game from Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows. We\u2019re going to surprise people, I think,\u201d Guillemot said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy is Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag so popular?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
